A brand new pic of former Doctor Who companion Karen Gillan has been released, giving us one of the best look we've had so far of Gillan as the big, bad, blue villainess Nebula in Marvel's upcoming out-of-this-world superhero flick Guardians of the Galaxy.

This newest still reveals a fresh new look at Ronan the Accuser’s (Lee Pace) right-hand woman, who’s also working for the Mad Titan himself, Thanos – last seen during the end credits of The Avengers.

Director James Gunn recently revealed about Nebula’s past that “Thanos slaughtered [Gamora's, played by Zoe Saldana] family and Nebula's, then raised them together as siblings. They were bioengineered to become living weapons, so he's really good at killing people.”

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy will rocket into theatres on August 1.
